Glossa Ordinaria, on Matt 5:8
Matt 5:8 · Douay-Rheims
“Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.”
On this verse:
“(ap. Anselm.) Purity of heart comes properly in the sixth place, because on the sixth day man was created in the image of God, which image was shronded by sin, but is formed anew in pure hearts by grace. It follows rightly the beforementioned graces, because if they be not there, a clean heart is not created in a man.”
